My scores have been better than yours.
Which one? - I got a five in signature dish! - MICHELLE: Which one? - The only five on the Red Team.
- MICHELLE: Okay.
Blue? Elise, you're not consistent.
- That's [BLEEP.]
.
- MICHELLE: You're not consistent.
You're not consistent either.
Your lamb was raw today.
Because you were running around, frazzled, not knowing No, 'cause you kept opening the oven.
"Oh! Oh!" ELISE: I know why you put me up there.
You put me up there hoping But you should know better.
- I'm coming for you.
- (DRAMATIC MUSIC) I am not scared of you.
(DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH) ("FIRE" BY OHIO PLAYERS) MAN: Fire Uh, uh When you're hot, you're hot You really shoot your shot You're dyn-o-mite, child, yeah The way you squeeze and tease Knocks me to my knees 'Cause I'm smokin', baby, baby Fire Fire Does that look okay? Give me a second.
I'm putting on mascara Elise.
Does this look all right? (SNIFFS) Okay.
ELISE: Michelle, I don't want friends like you, honey.
You burnt that bridge as an ally, and now I'm going to be trying to beat you at every turn.
(ROUSING MUSIC) GORDON: Quick.
- Good morning.
- ALL: Good morning, Chef.
First of all, do you enjoy hunting? ALL: Yes, Chef.
- Let's go.
- Oh, my God.
Always looking for the next crazy thing that Chef Ramsay's gonna have us do.
I'm all for it.
- (BIRDS CHITTERING) - Oh, my God, it's a jungle.
- ELISE: Oh, that's awesome.
- It's like Jurassic Park.
- That's awesome.
- Oh, wow.
Where's Tarzan? I want him to just swing by in the loin cloth.
- That would be just - (BELL CHIMES) Right, Red Team, Blue Team, welcome - to the Hell's Kitchen Jungle.
- Welcome to the jungle.
And this is where you're going to be hunting.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Now, listen carefully.
For today's challenge, all of you will be creating a stunning dish using exotic meats, eaten by early humans.
Some of the game meat that our ancestors hunted and cooked has come back into style.
Chefs, please.
- Wow.
- Hi, Chef.
What up, Jocky? On each of these racks is the name of three different unique meats that all of you will be cooking with: boar, venison, and elk.
VAN: This is right in my wheelhouse.
My dad's got a bowhunting ranch down in Texas called The Hoot and Holler.
And all we do is hunt wild boars down there with bows.
In this incredible, first ever Hell's Kitchen Jungle, you'll find all the ingredients you'll need - to complete that incredible dish.
- Oh, Lord.
GORDON: When I say go, the first chef from each team will grab a spear very carefully Don't dare throw it.
JENNIFER: Have to cook for your life.
I'm a little nervous with Elise and a spear.
(MUSIC CLANGS) - You'll run into the jungle - (LAUGHS) And you'll search and stab any ingredient that you want, is that clear? - Oh, my God.
- ALL: Yes, Chef.
Now, Manda, Robyn, you're up first.
- GORDON: Manda, wild boar.
- There you go.
GORDON: And Robyn, venison.
Now, your three minutes start now.
- GORDON: Let's go.
- Come on, Robyn.
NARRATOR: In today's challenge, the chefs will take turns spear hunting five ingredients they will use in cooking each of the three exotic proteins.
Butternut, apple.
NARRATOR: Each ingredient they choose must be used in their dish.
Go, go, go! Come on, Michelle.
What am I gonna get in this jungle? I don't want to take too long because I don't want to lose any time for our team.
Green beans and squash.
I want to make sure that we get five ingredients on each spear.
- Lentils.
- Lentils, nice one.
VAN: Get a starch, Milly.
- Get a starch.
- Look at Milly.
You know, I'm out there, stalking my ingredients and [BLEEP.]
.
You know, so I feel like a man.
- GORDON: What do you got? - Corn.
Hurry up, Barbie, let's go.
- Fennel.
- GORDON: Wow, fennel.
NICK: It's a little tricky.
It's easy to kind of just go in there and just stab at some ingredients.
Blackberries.
But you really have to think, "What the hell are we gonna do with these ingredients?" We got carrots.
- GORDON: Carrots, great, carrots.
- Okay, cool.
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
- Oh, [BLEEP.]
.
- You almost stabbed Jennifer.
Oops.
Sorry.
Not sorry.
Come on, Jennifer, let's go.
DANA: We're under a big time crunch here, but it certainly feels good to get some aggression out.
It's stuck in the floor! - (LAUGHS) - DANA: Oh, my God.
(CHUCKLES) (GROANS) For [BLEEP.]
's sake.
(GRUNTS) Sorry, Chef.
- What is that? - It's yams.
Tomatoes and spinach.
There's over 60 seconds to go! Jump! NARRATOR: With the second spears completed and time running out GORDON: Let's go.
NARRATOR: Both teams race to find ingredients to fill their final spear.
- GORDON: What is that? - Brussels sprout.
Hurry it up, hurry it up.
Just get something.
- Where are the nuts? - Ooh, that's that - Sorry, Chef - Go-go-go-go-go-go-go.
GORDON: Ten seconds, let's go.
You need color on the plate! No, don't take bok choy.
Leave that there.
ELISE: No, Barbie, we already have Swiss chard! Barbie, why would you grab bok choy? GORDON: Five, four, three, two, one.
- GORDON: That is it.
- Good job, Van.
Wow.
You'll have 45 minutes to compose a stunning dish, giving these exotic meats a very modern flair.
Your 45 minutes start now.
- Let's go.
- Go-go-go-go-go.
ELISE: All right, everybody, meet with your partner and make sure you're not duplicating the dish.
Right here, man.
NARRATOR: The teams must now create dishes - Where are the bowls? - NARRATOR: Featuring their game meat and all five speared ingredients.
Yeah, I cleaned off this silverskin.
- Okay? - Okay.
NARRATOR: Two chefs from each team will cook the same protein, except for Nick.
You guys got this.
NARRATOR: Who is the only persn cooking venison for the Blue Team.
- Manda? - Yes, Chef? - You ever cooked with this before? - MANDA: No.
I'm from New Jersey.
I don't get this stuff.
Boar? Who the hell eats boar? Like, don't they have, like, rabies or something? Going in the convection with the boar! Five minutes in, guys.
Five minutes in.
- Um, Benjamin.
- Yes? Elk cooks really quick? - Yeah, it's very lean.
- Gotcha.
I never cooked elk before.
So what I'm doing now is I am watching Ben like a hawk.
He's always kicking my ass in challenges.
So when Ben puts his elk down, I'm putting my elk in a saute pan.
When he rotates it, I rotate it.
Because of Benjamin, I'm totally confident that I'm gonna nail this elk dish.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) 23 minutes remaining.
GORDON: We are halfway.
- You settled down today? - Yes, Chef.
- I'm sorry, Chef.
- What are you doing? Seared venison, sauteed braised kale.
Michelle, this dish today is totally a statement piece.
Like, "Who's the weakest link?" I don't think so.
(BLENDER WHIRRS) Five minutes remaining.
- Five minutes, Chef.
- Come on.
[BLEEP.]
This thing's way too hot.
NICK: Why is the oven up like that, you guys? The oven is turned up to 475, which I think is insane.
Sabotage.
We are down to two minutes, Red Team, Blue Team.
Right behind.
GORDON: Finishing touches.
Got to plate.
Come on.
MANDA: This is still [BLEEP.]
raw.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) MANDA: Get me a hot pan, please! Hot pan is here.
Oh, Lord.
(MEAT SIZZLES) I don't know what kind of noise a boar makes, but it certainly was talking in that pan, okay? Come on.
(CLAPS) (IMITATES BOAR GROANING) Come on, Manda, you can do it.
[BLEEP.]
, I'm sorry, guys.
GORDON: 30 seconds remaining.
Robyn, please.
Why are you so behind, Robyn? I'm plating right now, Chef.
GORDON: Let's go.
Ten, nine - Where's your plate? - Right here, it's right here - GORDON: Seven - Move, move, move, move, move.
GORDON: Six, five, four, three, two, one, and stop.
(DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH) - Everybody happy? - ALL: Yes, Chef! GORDON: Good, now, I cannot think of two people more qualified to help me judge this challenge: Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo.
- Please welcome.
- Welcome.
- How are you, Chef? - Welcome back.
- Thanks for having us.
- Good to see you.
Yeah.
MICHELLE: Chef Jon and Vinny from Animal were actually judges on season 14.
GORDON: Describe the dish, please.
MICHELLE: It's an Asian-inspired alligator curry.
That is the best dish of the day.
- Wow, wow.
- Good job, Michelle.
GORDON: They've gone on and opened two more restaurants: Son of a Gun and Trois Mec.
Right, let's start off with the battle of the boar.
- Let's go.
- Come on, guys.
NARRATOR: Chef Ramsay, Jon Shook, and Vinny Dotolo will judge all the dishes of each protein, and then will pick a winner for each round.
So I have a walnut-crusted wild boar loin and some southern style braised collard greens, with Brussels and bacon.
How'd that taste, Vinny? VINNY: I actually really love the crust.
The meat and the collard greens go beautifully together.
- I think the dish plays really strong.
- Seasoning's nice.
Thank you.
My southern charm's bringing it home! Chef can taste that south in his mouth, baby! NARRATOR: It's now the moment of truth for Manda's boar chop with apple and fennel.
Could you tell us how you cooked the piece of meat, please? MANDA: I seared it and basted it and then put it in the oven.
And then last minute, I sliced it, and I just gave it a quick sear.
You put it back in the pan after you cut it? Yes, I did.
It really hurts the overall dish.
GORDON: Oh, dear.
NARRATOR: Next up is Milly's rosemary-marinated boar loin with deep-fried Brussels sprous and bacon jam.
This one feels like it's just a little bit undercooked.
To me, the Brussels sprouts are a little greasy.
- It doesn't work.
- VINNY: Yeah.
VINNY: It just doesn't work.
Right, uh, Jennifer.
NARRATOR: With Van seemingly still in the driver seat, Jennifer is the Red Team's last hope to win this round with her home style boar dish.
Chefs, I was trying to think pork chops and apple sauce.
- I like the thought process.
- I do too.
VINNY: I think the herbs are very nice with the dish.
The apples played nicely with the boar chop.
Uh, Jennifer, love what you did with the apples.
- GORDON: Spot on.
- Thank you, Chef.
GORDON: Uh, gents, so the winner of the boar dish belongs to the Blue Team or the Red Team? For me, I would pick Van.
Blue.
(CLAPPING) Thank you.
Oh, yeah, I pulled out the W, baby! - [BLEEP.]
- GORDON: Blue Team, out the gate strong.
Next up, venison, please.
Let's go.
NARRATOR: With the men taking the first round, the spotlight shifts to Nick, who has the Blue Team's only venison dish.
What you have is a warm spice-roasted venison with a butternut squash puree.
Uh, Jon, does it taste as good as it looks? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) It actually does.
- Nice dish.
- It tastes exceptional.
Thank you, Chef.
- NARRATOR: Next - Dana.
NARRATOR: Will try to top Nick's dish with a roast venison, yam and pear puree.
Vinny, how was that for you? It felt like the meat could have used a little more seasoning.
- Yep.
- Next time, I would just put less meat.
Yeah, venison that thick, you know, doesn't deliver its best texture.
Yeah.
NARRATOR: After Dana's disappointing showing, it's up to Elise and her venison with yam puree to keep the Red Team alive.
ELISE: This is no ordinary challenge.
I'm not paying attention to how the Blue Team's doing.
It's like Michelle came for me, so now it's my mission to outdo her.
Every single time.
I love the confidence in not slicing the meat.
Thank you.
So hopefully you know your temperatures, and when I cut in there, it's nice and perfect.
(SOFTLY) Look at her face.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) NARRATOR: It's round two of judging in today's Game Meat Challenge.
I love the confidence in not slicing the meat.
Thank you.
NARRATOR: And with the men winning the first round, it's come down to Elise's venison dish to prevent a Blue Team win, at least for now.
So hopefully you know your temperatures and when I cut in there, it's nice and perfect.
(SOFTLY) Look at her face.
- It's cooked perfect.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
JON: With this dish, it really feels like you let the star of the show be the star of the show.
Thank you.
Hands down, the best dish by Elise? I think Elise actually has had the best dish.
- GORDON: Elise, good job.
- Oh.
ELISE: Michelle, I told you yesterday, boo-boo, that moving forward, I'm going to be at infinite speed You better keep up.
This is it.
We're tied at one-one.
And it's all down to the battle of the elk.
- Please, let's go.
- (CLAPPING) ROBYN: Wow.
So it's basically coming down to my dish and Benjamin's dish for our team.
My fingers are crossed, hoping that my plan to follow Benjamin was a right decision.
Barbie, please, describe your dish.
I have pan-roasted elk - with chili-braised bok choy.
- Interesting.
The cook is actually nice on the piece of meat.
It's tender, delicious, um, and it's seasoned beautifully.
- GORDON: Solid effort.
- Thank you, Chefs.
NARRATOR: Up next is Benjamin, with his juniper-marinated elk loin.
I think it's a little bit under-seasoned.
I think it's kind of flat.
It needs a little bit of spice.
- Yes, chef.
- JENNIFER: Wow.
Ben is usually one of the strong ones in these competitions.
So for him not to do good, it's like, "We might win this round.
" - NARRATOR: Next up is Michelle.
.
- Enjoy.
NARRATOR: with her pan-seared elk with chickpea puree.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I think the meat was a little bit dry.
GORDON: That's a great shame.
Michelle's meat is dry like jerky.
In the inside, I'm laughing because she be walking around with her nose up in the air, talking about she better than everybody.
Damn.
NARRATOR: The final dish is Robyn's elk with chimichurri sauce.
GORDON: Vinny, how's that? It's simple.
It's nice.
It has a nice acidity to it.
Thank you, Chef.
- I love chimichurri.
- GORDON: Yeah.
Did it with a bit of a wow.
GORDON: Chimichurri, great idea, by the way.
- Good job, Robyn.
- Good job, Robyn.
GORDON: Gents, tough one, this one.
Which one would you eliminate? Michelle.
GORDON: You'd pick Michelle? Vinny? - Benjamin.
- GORDON: Benjamin.
So we come down to the top two, which is Barbie and Robyn.
DANA: Come on, Barbie.
(CLAPS) Never thought I'd be saying that.
Gents, top dish it's between Barbie or Robyn.
The winner of this challenge, I think (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I think Robyn.
I think I would have to go with Robyn as well.
Uh, Blue Team, congratulations.
Thank you, Chefs.
Whoo! Out of four dishes, my dish was the best! - GORDON: Uh, Robyn, well done.
- VINNY: Yes, Robyn.
- MILLY: That's right, girl.
- Thank you, Chefs.
- Good to see you, bud.
- Good to see you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you guys.
- VINNY: Thanks for having us.
- GORDON: Take care.
Thanks, Jon.
Good job, Robyn.
Right, Blue Team, you're in for an amazing reward.
You all will be heading out to an exclusive mountain retreat, Hummingbird Nest ranch.
- Wow.
- All right.
- Awesome.
- It is beautiful.
- Wow.
- GORDON: Whilst there, you'll enjoy thousands of dollars of caviar by Petrossian; it's a luxury caviar.
- You're gonna love it.
- Bomb.
- Head to the dorms.
- Thank you, Chef.
Your car's awaiting.
Robyn, welcome back.
Thank you, Chef.
ROBYN: Holy crap! Whoo! Yes! Good job, honey.
I'm so proud of you.
Now, Red Team, today is spring cleaning day.
I'm talking about scrubbing floors and scouring the toilet.
Now, after the bathrooms are done, jump into the shower stalls.
Ew.
Once those dorms are back to pristine, immaculate condition, all our waiting staff's aprons, they need some ironing.
- GORDON: Happy? - No, Chef.
- Great.
Off you go.
- ELISE: Yes, Chef.
I was hoping Chef Ramsay was gonna say since I had the best dish that I could go ahead and join the Blue Team, but no, I'm stuck here, scrubbing pubes out of the showers.
Great.
- Literally, everyone - We did a good job.
Did a good job.
We didn't do a good job.
ELISE: Nobody got points.
Except my one.
And Michelle's like, "I think we all should be proud of ourselves.
" Proud of what? Your non-point? Your dry meat? Bye.
- You guys can start in the kitchen.
- ALL: Yes, Chef.
Oh, yes, queen.
Good day, bro.
Oh, you're dapper, bro! Man, we won! It feels so good to win.
And we are dressed to impress, baby.
- Look at us.
- Here we go, guys.
(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC) (IDLE MUSIC) Ew.
ELISE: Ain't that nasty? The dorms are pretty gnarly.
If you've ever lived with boys, you know that it's not always pretty.
Oh, my God.
That is gross.
Ugh, this is so [BLEEP.]
sweaty.
[BLEEP.]
is this? On Milly's chair, he had two hamburgers in a bag.
And I I don't know if he was saving it for later or what, but I am, like, completely freaked out right now.
(DISGUSTED SIGH) MICHELLE: You got it, Elise? Yeah? ELISE: It would be nice to have some space during this punishment because I'm not like Michelle.
I can't just walk around and be fake to people and then wait for my opportunity to stab them in the back.
This iron sucks.
Yeah, this one does too.
(ELEGANT STRING MUSIC) Oh.
- Whoo! - Oh, my, VIP.
- Oh, damn.
- Wow.
Hummingbird Nest ranch is beautiful.
It's pretty bourgie and seems really expensive.
I am so far from fancy, refined.
This is so nice.
Oh, God, I am so far from that.
(LAUGHS) - Hey, guys, how are you? - Hello, Chef.
- Congratulations on your win.
- Thank you.
This is a perfect day to taste some caviar.
- NICK: Awesome.
- So the first caviar we're gonna taste, it's from California.
So it tastes like the fresh ocean.
(PLEASANT MUSIC) MILLY: Oh, man, this caviar that I'm tasting is creamy.
It is so rich.
You just eat it and you just become part of the caviar.
- That's great.
- ALEX: Is that your favorite so far? Yeah.
That was beautiful.
Milly is loving this caviar.
ALEX: You should get creamy again on this one.
(SMOOTH R&B MUSIC) VAN: He's making love to the caviar.
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm! Next, I'm gonna make some lunch for you guys.
I used to work for a chef.
And my responsibility was to taste the caviar every morning, So I know that this is the best caviar you can try in your life.
So the first course, caviar foie gras.
- Uni and tuna.
- Damn.
- Wow.
- Cheers on that.
- To Blue Team.
- Blue Team.
- Cheers.
- Blue Team.
NARRATOR: While the Blue bonds together outside of Hell's Kitchen, back in the dorms I want to talk to her, but I don't know if it's a good time or not.
NARRATOR: The Red attempts to do the same.
Not before service, maybe.
Well, I don't want it to carry over, you know what I mean? Okay.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) - (SOFTLY) This is not going to end well.
- No.
Three, two, one.
(IMITATES EXPLOSION) Hey, do you mind if we have a conversation? Um, I don't want there to be any tension between us.
And I know that there is right now.
So I just don't want this to carry over into dinner service.
You said that I'm not a team player.
- No.
- Yes, you did.
First of all, I was put on the spot.
What, your brain doesn't work? (DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) I said, "I'm gonna put up Elise because she said she works well by herself And she needs to show that.
And she needs to prove it.
" - Elise - I don't need to prove myself.
I had to put your up there.
I knew you were gonna come back.
You ain't ever gonna be the cause of me going home.
I done sacrificed too much.
I have too much passion.
- You're not listen - You don't know me.
You won't even let me explain.
I heard what you said.
But your problem is you like to talk and don't listen to nobody else.
I thought we were friends.
We were having good conversations.
You showed me you showed me that there is no friends.
- Elise - When we talk, it's gonna be about dinner service, challenges, food-related things.
Don't ask me how your ponytail looks, 'cause I don't care.
I'm not playing nice anymore.
She opened a can of worms, so she better be able to deal with.
- Okay.
- There's no friendship here.
Because friends don't backstab each other.
Elise, you're getting so defensive.
- Smart-alecky [BLEEP.]
- I did not backstab you.
- You came to me with this.
- Michelle.
You opened a can of worms.
We gotta get out of this dinner service alive.
(DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH) - Okay, guys, smash it tonight.
- Yeah.
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, sir.
Let's have a good night, yeah? - Yeah.
- Good night, Chef.
After coming together as a team and having a good challenge, I feel really confident going into this dinner service.
All right, guys, we're communicating tonight.

NARRATOR: And while some are eager to savor their Hell's Kitchen favorites The pan-seared scallops.
Uh, let's do the beef Wellington.
NARRATOR: Others will enjoy Chef Ramsay's one-night-only caviar blini appetizer special.

(SOFT MUSICAL FLOURISH) Um.
Scallop [BLEEP.]
tartare? This doesn't get peppered up? Uh, no, it's fine.
Elise and I have history.
- Shut up - It wasn't that one Shut up for five [BLEEP.]
seconds! And we are complete polar opposites.
Um Can you help me with the tartare? - I haven't made this one yet.
- Yep.
Um.
- So Worcestershire, olive oil.
- Just so I know.
- Okay.
- Shallots.
Just let me do it.
Just talk me through it.
I will give my left foot for someone to walk.
Elise would be like, "We'll take the foot and, like, throw it down the drain.
" Creme fraiche goes on the opposite side? Like, so right here? Just tell me.
Yeah, so, like, right next to it.
- All right.
- Sorry, like I'm sorry.
I'm a shower.
I'm a shower.
I can't believe I'm helping Elise.
Four? Uh, six.
- Four times? - Yeah - Or six pieces? - I got it.
I maybe I have a fever or something.
I don't know, because this is really This is odd for me.
All right, you cut it, I'll I'll dress it.

Nice, nice.
Thank you, Chef.

- There's four on fish! - Yes, Chef! Do you want John to help as well? - No, Chef.
- [BLEEP.]
(CHUCKLING) - GORDON: Come on! - Dinner and a show.
NARRATOR: With half of the Red now working on the fish station, appetizers and entrees are making their way out to diners.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
NARRATOR: While over in the Blue Kitchen - Ben.
- Yes, Chef? GORDON: Come here.
NARRATOR: Benjamin and the newly cohesive Blue are off to a flawless start.
That lamb is beautiful.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Absolutely beautiful.
Guys, we're gonna keep this up.
Killing it.
Come on, guys.
The Blue Team has good momentum.
I'm really impressed with Van, myself, and Nick.
I see you, Milly.
Shaking that ass.
I think Robyn and Milly are working good together.
We're going in the right direction.
You could just feel it.
Two sirloins, Chef.
Right between, Chef.
Come on, y'all.
Keep going, y'all.
- We got this.
- Come on, guys.
Hey, I don't know what's happening, but this momentum in service has got to remain.
ALL: Yes, Chef! (UPBEAT DRAMATIC MUSIC) NARRATOR: While the Blue Team continues to deliver perfect entrees to their diner, Chef Ramsay Come on, ladies, please.
We're getting flat.
- ALL: Yes, Chef.
- NARRATOR: Is hoping the ladies can find some positive momentum of their own.
Manda, how's that pork? Is it resting? What I didn't hear a [BLEEP.]
word.
Are you kidding me? Manda, you have three pork all day.
- What? - Manda, can I help you.
There's a lot going on right now, and the kitchen is just so [BLEEP.]
noisy that I can't hear [BLEEP.]
and I can't think straight.
Pork Wellington, halibut, duck.
How long for that one? How are we on the pork? Pork, uh, ten minutes! Ten minutes.
(MUSIC BROODS) Holy [BLEEP.]
.
Hey, who forgot the pork? I did, Chef! Do you know how bad it is, forgetting pork? I absolutely do, Chef.
Can we salvage a duck and halibut, and do one-two top? - Yes.
- Yes, Chef.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Duck.
I've got the duck, but where's the halibut? - Halibut's walking right now.
- Watch it.

Yeah, it's [BLEEP.]
slippery.

What is happening? (MUSIC BROODS) It's [BLEEP.]
raw.
Pork's not ready.
What's happened? - The pork didn't get dropped.
- Yes.
- It backed everything up.
- We didn't get going, Michelle.
- You're right, Chef.
- It's been a massive meltdown.
You need to start being a bit more honest with each other.
Yes, Chef.
Pushing each other.
Motivating each other.
Get your [BLEEP.]
together.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) Come on, guys.
Let's keep it going.
On order, two halibut, two lamb.

Backs, backs! Walking, salmon, behind.
Hey, this is what I call an energetic service.
ALL: Yes, Chef! NARRATOR: While the Blue strikes a perfect chord So good.
NARRATOR: Over in the Red Kitchen I'm walking with lamb.
I'm slicing chicken.
- NARRATOR: Michelle and Barbie.
.
- Coming down.
NARRATOR: Are trying to get in sync on the meat station.
I approved myself on the meat station already because I did all this by myself in the last dinner service, so, I'm good.
Let's just see how Barbie does this time.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Chicken.
You said the chicken was perfect, right? 'Cause I didn't double-check you.
It wasn't pink on the inside and it had some shine, so.
BARBIE: There was no pink on the inside? MICHELLE: There was no pink on the inside.
GORDON: Hey, hey, all of you, come here.
I'm not doing it in front of the chef table.
I said all of you.
BARBIE: Oh, no.
(MUSIC BROODS) Now just touch that, in there.
Yeah, Chef.
- It's raw, Chef.
- You can see it, it's raw.
- Who sliced that? - I did, Chef.
Wow, doesn't surprise me, but hey, she's the best chef here.
I didn't look deep enough into it.
I just opened it a little and it looked fine.
Ladies, chef table arrived, you fall to pieces.
I'm sorry.
Hey, ladies, have we given up? ALL: No, Chef! - We have not, Chef.
Well, you're cooking like it.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hot pan, Chef.
Sorry.
[BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
.
NARRATOR: The Red Team has delivered just a few entrees.
Go on.
NARRATOR: While the Blue is only a couple tickets away from completing service.
Scallops going into the pan, Robyn.
- I need about 90 seconds to - That's fine! I got I'm working too right now, darling.
You need help with anything? No, baby, I'm making more blinis.
I'm good, Bubba.
I'm here with my boys.
I love the Blue Team.
Hashtag (CLICKS TONGUE) truth, baby.
Darling, I'll run it for you if you want me to.
ROBYN: Van.
You have tartar sauce right there.
- You know that, right, babe? - Yeah.
ROBYN: Okay.
Behind you one more time, baby.
Robyn, I'm not your baby.
Thank you, babe.
At all.
Do you want more bone marrow on here, baby? - No, it's perfect amount.
- Okay.
Come on, Robyn, you gotta hustle with those.
I'm trying, baby.
Hey, forget the baby [BLEEP.]
, will you, please? Hey, young lady, forget the baby [BLEEP.]
.
- Just sound like a pro.
- Yeah, just do it.
- Yeah, Chef.
- Okay, forget the baby [BLEEP.]
.
We're not in a [BLEEP.]
nightclub, okay? Sorry, baby.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) The next ticket: one halibut, one duck, one pork, one beef.
- Yes? - ALL: Yes, Chef! How long, Barbie? How long? MANDA: Mine's resting, so GORDON: I just need a time.
- A direct, confident time.
- How long? Mine is resting, so when you're ready to go - Are you ready? That means - Yes! - So three minutes, Chef.
- GORDON: Three minutes.
[BLEEP.]
, now where is the confidence gone? I would love to try to turn this around and show that even though we have [BLEEP.]
up, we can bounce back.
I can walk pork.
- Garnish, please.
- Yes, Chef.
- You you walking? - I'm slicing my Wellington! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Pork is walking, Chef.
- Walking Wellington! - Take it back.
- Beside you, Chef.
(EXHALES) Right in the center.
And the duck.
Hey, Blue Team.
Come here.
[BLEEP.]
- Red Team.
- BARBIE: Yes.
- Line up.
- Yes, Chef.
Quit yeah, and line up.
Blue Team, line up there.
No telling what might be going on.
This All Star season has been crazy.
I am done.
Raw duck, raw pork.
I mean, to All Stars? [BLEEP.]
no stars tonight.
This has been the worst service ever by the Red Team.
Send your last table now, Blue Team, and jump in here and salvage this [BLEEP.]
.
You five, [BLEEP.]
off! Yes, Chef! Wow.
I told you about that duck.
- I told you that that was - Hey.
Gonna happen with that duck.
Oh, my God, the Red Team is just like a angry [BLEEP.]
pimple ready to [BLEEP.]
explode at this point.
GORDON: Robyn, jump on the garnish.
Oh, my [BLEEP.]
Red Team, what's going on? The Blue Team is finishing up for you guys again.
Walking lamb, New York strip.
Lobster Wellington.
Who's going home tonight? That's it.
Go, go-go-go.
Thank you for your patience.
- Whoa, oh, my friend, thank you.
- You're welcome.
Uh, Blue Team, great job in the Blue Kitchen and great job in the Red Kitchen.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Stoves off, please.
- Send the desserts.
- Thank you, Chef.
I'll tell you what the issue is.
This [BLEEP.]
was a cluster[BLEEP.]
.
Everybody wants to preach this team-player [BLEEP.]
, but I don't really [BLEEP.]
see it from everyone.
Nobody takes advice from nobody.
That's a problem.
- Listen listen, guys - I didn't do anything Yes, you did, you [BLEEP.]
cleaned that Oh, my God, are you [BLEEP.]
serious right now? I don't mean it in a bad way! No stop! Shut up! (INTENSE MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Everybody wants to preach this team-player [BLEEP.]
, but I don't really [BLEEP.]
see it from everyone.
Nobody takes advice from nobody.
That's a problem.
- Listen listen, guys - I didn't do anything Yes, you did, you [BLEEP.]
cleaned that Oh, my God, are you [BLEEP.]
serious right now? I don't mean it in a bad way! No stop! Shut up! (DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH) This is just how I feel about it.
I feel like the raw-ass pork set this kitchen back.
That's that was a huge [BLEEP.]
-up.
It's a double bone pork chop.
It's gonna take a really long time.
I honestly thought they were done.
And it has to be cooked all the way through.
And then you didn't hear the call for three pork.
Yeah, I didn't.
I will take accountability for my huge [BLEEP.]
-up and weeding the kitchen.
But the Red Team is stronger with me than without me.
Barbie, at the beginning, you're micromanaging me.
I wasn't micromanaging.
You're telling me that my scallops are done, and I'm they're not done.
Why didn't you say something? (DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) Barbie, you know I like you.
- Okay? - I know.
But what the [BLEEP.]
is the excuse on that raw-ass duck? What I don't understand is how that station got so weeded with two people.
Because it weren't! Because she was supporting everybody.
I don't deserve to be up there.
I was basically by myself with the meat station.
Michelle was everywhere else.
You bounced through the whole kitchen.
That doesn't mean anything.
There was a lot going on.
That has nothing to do with how you cook duck, though.
If you're her partner, why were you letting her send up raw duck? I'm not gonna snatch meat out of Barbie's hand and cook it.
You beat your chest so much as a leader, but you dropped the ball on that tonight.
Because at some point, when does your leadership kick in and say, "We're going down.
Let me take this over.
Barbie, I don't care.
- I'm cooking this"? - I was helping Barbie.
But you never took lead on it.
I'm not gonna disrespect my partner like that.
- She said she's got it - Woof.
MICHELLE: I handed it to her.
She probably got a six pack on her jaws.
'Cause all she do is yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap, like one of them little ankle dogs that yap but don't do nothing.
Listen, I take responsibility for the raw chicken.
- Okay.
- That was my bad.
If I'm gonna be real with you, I think you skated through service tonight I think that you skated on the responsibility of not only your station, but you were bouncing around, running around a lot.
I was back and forth on fish and You [BLEEP.]
skated through that [BLEEP.]
like - MICHELLE: I did not! - I did not skate, Elise.
ELISE: You skated through service tonight.
No-no-no-no-no-no.
You skated through service tonight.
There's no way I deserve to be put up for elimination.
Yeah, I made a silly mistake.
But it was a quick fix.
What were you doing? I was on my station.
JENNIFER: She got pounded.
- Thank you.
- I I was helping.
- Okay, no-no-no, you Elise - Boop, that's what I was doing.
No-no-no, Elise, you asked me No-no-no - No, that's what I was doing.
- Elise Elise - That's fair.
- But what were you doing? Running around like a chicken with your head cut off.
- No.
- That's what you're great at.
- Boop! - (LAUGHS) Stop.
- You asked me what I did on my - Boop! - It's only fair that I - That's what I was doing.
That's what I was doing.
Boop to that.
Okay.
All right, Elise.
Elise is literally obsessed with me.
She will not let anything I do go.
She's just, like, on my ass all the time.
It's completely unnecessary.
All right, all right, I'm ready to vote.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SIGHS) I'm lost for words.
(SUSPENSEFUL DRAMATIC MUSIC) Have you six fallen out? ALL: No, Chef.
- Elise.
- Yes, Chef? What happened? I'm gonna tell you what happened, Chef.
No one took control.
Michelle ran around a lot.
There's people kissing certain people's asses and not keeping it real, and it's a hindrance to us.
Why are we on the patio celebrating that we did good in the challenge? We didn't do good in the challenge.
Nobody got a point.
Nobody was celebrating, Chef.
- Nobody was celebrating.
- We weren't celebrating.
Michelle said, "I think we did good.
" I'm like, "Well, there's the problem.
" No one here agrees with her, Chef.
No.
No-no-no.
ELISE: The pork chops was wrong.
She's also sent up a raw chicken that she doesn't want to take accountability for.
"Well, I didn't cook it.
" DANA: She did take accountability for.
Well, y'all can continue to kiss her behind, but I'm not.
Because I'm here for a competition.
BARBIE: Nobody kissed her behind at all.
You don't like her personally, so you're trying to throw her under the bus.
It's nothing personal.
It's nothing personal.
- Ladies, ladies - It's Barbie too.
ELISE: She's always finding someone else to blame.
She said the duck was raw because no one scored it for her, but Communication is still failing, Chef.
And I don't know if it's just egos talking or what, but it's too much.
We're not supporting one another how we should.
Right.
I was trying to support my team in any way that I could.
I was supporting the meat station.
I was supporting the fish station.
And I was spread too thin trying to help out my team.
Listen.
There were two people on the meat station, but only one person was cooking everything.
This is what I hear during service.
- I didn't hear any - That's not no, no.
She did not say anything during service.
- Listen - Exactly.
I didn't say anything during service, and also Listen.
Ladies, can I just say this is really pathetic? (DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) There were two people on the meat station, but only one person was cooking everything.
This is what I hear during service.
- I didn't hear any - That's not no, no.
- She did not say - No, no Listen.
Ladies, can I just say this is really pathetic? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Jennifer.
- Yes, Chef.
First nominee, please.
First nominee is Manda, Chef.
- Why? - Missing three pork set us back.
And then when you asked to pick it up, it went up raw.
Jennifer, Red Team's second nominee and why.
Second nominee is Barbie, Chef.
Why Barbie? Because there was ducks on there that were quacking they were so raw.
Barbie, Manda, step forward, please.
- Manda.
- Yes, Chef.
- Have you plateaued? - Absolutely not, Chef.
- Have you lost your edge? - Absolutely not.
Are you a better chef than Barbie? - Absolutely.
- Tell me why.
You've said it yourself, I'm scrappy and I'm feisty.
And I've never given up a fight.
I've grown exponentially since I've been here the first time.
I'm a team player, and I think my team would stand behind me on that.
When you are in the weeds, being a prolific delegator gets you out.
Absolutely.
But you said nothing.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) - Barbie.
- Yeah, Chef.
- Terrible service.
- Yeah, Chef.
- Are you done? - No, I'm not.
- Has the fight gone from your belly? - The fight's never gonna leave from me.
I came here.
I want this.
Why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I look out for everyone else and not enough for myself.
And that's what a chef does.
GORDON: (SIGHS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) My decision is Barbie.
(BROODING MUSIC POUNDS) Wake up, and get back in line.
Yes, Chef.
- Manda.
- Yes, Chef.
Take off your jacket.
GORDON: Your time is done.
You are a hard worker.
But you are not ready to lead the first ever Hell's Kitchen in Las Vegas.
Thank you so much for having me here.
- GORDON: Thank you.
- MANDA: Thank you.
Girls, guys - Bye, Manda.
- MANDA: Bye, love you guys.
Be good to each other.
Bye, Manda.
MANDA: This did not end the way I thought it would end.
I weeded our kitchen, and I'm pissed as hell about i.
At the end of the day, like, I want a better life for my babies.
I hope that they know that I'm better because of this, but I'm mostly better because of them.
So I can't I just can't wait to go see them.
(SNIFFLES) Listen carefully.
You each now have a one in ten chance of becoming head chef in Hell's Kitchen flagship, Caesars Las Vegas.
Think about that.
ALL: Yes, Chef.
- Good night.
- ALL: Good night, Chef.
Good night, Chef.
They're always gonna put me up first.
I get it.
But guess what? It's in the past.
Guess who's waking up in Hell's Kitchen again tomorrow.
I still want this.
VAN: Oh, my goodness.
When they were walking down the hallway, you could hear 'em fighting.
Out in front of the chef and they're still fighting.
The Ratchet Reds are just ratchet.
ELISE: Did they forget that this is competition? I don't need no friends.
I got plenty of friends at home.
I can have more friends when I win this $1/4 million.
Like, I don't need their friendship.
I don't care if they ever speak to me again after I win.
Manda said she never heard the ticket that sunk her team.
Sadly, she's not going to hear her name being called as the winner of Hell's Kitchen either.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC POUNDS) (FLAMES WHOOSH) NARRATOR: Next time on Hell's Kitchen: All Stars - Thank you.
Huge fan.
- Congratulations.
Likewise.
NARRATOR: When Barbie's girl crush Cheryl Burke comes to Hell's Kitchen Hi, I'm Barbie.
- You are so amazing.
- Thank you so much.
NARRATOR: Will it become a fatal attraction? I'm gonna go cook you some more duck, okay? - Yes.
- Barbie, he said no.
NARRATOR: And send Barbie over the edge? Please fire one duck garnish for me.
He said he didn't want it.
Fire duck garnish, please.
Come on, ladies, please? This [BLEEP.]
is getting weird.
Like, they see the crazy in you like we all do.
Chill.
You two, sort it out.
Now.
NARRATOR: It's all aboard the crazy train.
You're a lunatic.
Cuckoo.
Like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" crazy.
Did she just call me crazy? NARRATOR: In an off-the-rails episode She just wants to throw people under the bus.
This is not a bus ride; it's a train wreck.
You're a train wreck! - Choo-choo, choo-choo.
